Sterling (1868 – 26 March 1891) was a British racehorse and sire. While not particularly successful in terms of major wins, he was very highly regarded, being rated by his jockey Harry Custance as the equal of Thormanby.[1]

Background

Sterling was a bay horse bred and owned by the Graham family who owned the Yardley Stud near Birmingham.[2] His dam, Whisper, was bred by Mr. R. Taylor and produced ten foals between 1866 and her death in 1882.[3] Sterling was her third foal and one of six sired by Oxford. Whisper's other good racers included Playfair.[4]

Racing career

Sterling won five races including the Liverpool Autumn Cup at Aintree Racecourse. He also finished second to Bothwell in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on 25 April 1871.[5] In the autumn of 1871, the owner of the Belmont Stakes winner Harry Bassett's owner issued a challenge to the owner of Sterling for a one and a half mile match race at level weights, to be run in the United States. Sterling's owner responded by offering to put up £12,000 to the American's £8,000, but only if the match took place in England. The race never materialised.[6]

Stud career

Sterling was much more successful as a breeding stallion than he had been as a racehorse. [1]

Sterling died on 26 March 1891 at 23.[7]
